Reply to Brabus_x2: the front looks really low now compare to the first pic when you just had it lowered. How about the rear??

Brabus,
The car looks quite nice. The replicas come off clean and clear.
However, I'm suprised that no one has asked about those whack azz tires? What are they, General? On your next set, spend a couple of bucks for good rubber. All Season tires are for wife driven Camrys.
Before anyone comes back at me, know this, the two things I spend money on, are tires and brakes. Scrimp there and pay the price.

Again, looks good, both the color of the car, and the rims. the tires are K-mart. Why buy the Benz to show the Blue Light?

I find that if you have an AMG of any sort picking on the normal C pretty much means you are an ***. Unless they are called for.
as for tires...the general's fine. they'll last and are very affordable. I'd run those if I didn't still have a desire for performance.

thanks for the info... I was going to ask because i have the coupe and am going to put the tien springs on and wanted to know if i could fit 19's
not sure if i am going 19 just yet, but may go 18.... i like the way your 19s fill the gap though its nice.

Fortunately you have an '02 so you can get an ASP pulley.
Hey, a Citron coupe in Alameda?
You picked it up recently or just recently joined the site?
Where'd you find it?
Any yeh, I didn't go with 19 for same reason.
Adds unsprung weight.
17's do just fine, and with the freeways around Oakland, you need a little
rubber between the rim and the road.
